IMAP4 is the latest Internet e-mail protocol and is supported by many few e-mail servers and the majority of the e-mail clients (incl. Microsoft Outlook, Microsoft Outlook Express, Netscape Messaging, Eudora Pro).
IMAP4 can be used as a replacement for the POP3 protocol. With IMAP4, messages are stored and manipulated on the mail server wheras with POP3
messages are offloaded from the mail server and stored on the mail client.
Use ActiveXperts Network Monitor to check an NNTP news server.
The check connects to the TCP port (default: port 119) and performs handshake.
This way, ActiveXperts Network Monitor verifies that the remoteusenet server is working fine.
An NNTP News Server checks needs the following parameters:
- Host - Hostname or IP address of the server to be monitored;
- Port - TCP port number of the NNTP protocol. Default: 119;
- Send command when connected - As soon as connection is established, send a command. By default, no command string will be sent;
- Response must include string - when connected, optionally send a command. Then wait for the response. The default response for NNTP servers includes: '200';
- Timeout - Number of milliseconds before the check will timeout. Usually, a connection to the server will be established within 1 second. However, some slow/busy server need more time. Recommended value is 7000 milliseconds.
